Re: It would come down to the bottom line for me...
For many... 1.5Mbps/384kbps is even fine.
I do remote work (over SSH/VPN) and have used 3Mbps/512kbps up until recently (POTS got too expensive - TWC made a good deal)
Consider the following:
1.5Mbps/384bkps - $25
6Mbps/512kbps - $40
10Mbps/1Mbps - $55
20Mbps/2Mbps (or 18/1.5Mbps on AT&T) $65
Which would you pick and why ?
I personally would pick the 6Mbps/512kbps - if I didn't have to work remotely - I'd probably hit the 1.5Mbps/384kbps.
Now... lets add some modern economics to this:
5GB cap 1.5Mbps/384bkps - $25
40GB cap 6Mbps/512kbps - $40
150GB cap 10Mbps/1Mbps - $55
300GB cap 20Mbps/2Mbps (or 18/1.5Mbps on AT&T) $65
I'd be in the 10Mbps/1Mbps... just by volume of data.
This is the 'new incentive' for higher speed/pricing.
Not everyone needs (or better yet wants) to pay for higher speed. |
